My carefree life in space

Chapter 28 Assassination Attempt

The next morning, when Lin Shushu and Mo Ze stepped out of the tent, they met the probing and ambiguous gazes of the crowd.

Lin Shushu feigned composure and walked past the crowd. Mo Ze was much calmer; after all, it wasn't the first time, and he even greeted everyone warmly.

After breakfast, everyone prepared to leave. Xiao Qin and her group also came over.

Lin Shushu noticed that Xiao Qin kept glancing at her intentionally or unintentionally today. When she looked over, Xiao Qin would smile gently at her as if she had just noticed her.

Lin Shushu was speechless. Did she think she hadn't noticed? In less than an hour, Xiao Qin had already looked at her no less than ten times.

Not only that, but there were also several people secretly following behind them. At first, Lin Shushu thought they were bodyguards of one of Xiao Qin's group.

Later, she sensed something was wrong; those people's eyes were fixed on her. She glanced at Mo Ze discreetly, then pointed behind her where no one could see.

Mo Ze understood and secretly observed the people following behind him with his mental power. Finding that they were not making any moves for the time being, he pretended not to notice them and continued to walk and chat with Lin Shushu.

Seeing their close interaction, Xiao Qin held back for a long time, but finally couldn't resist. She stepped forward and smiled at Lin Shushu, "Miss Lin, are you also a purifier?"

She already knew the answer in her heart: Mo Ze had gone hunting last night, and the prey couldn't be eaten without purification. Clearly, there was a purifier in their group.

She knew more or less about the other people's situations, and none of them were purification masters, so it could only be the woman in front of her.

Lin Shushu didn't really want to talk to her, so she just replied with a single word: "Yes".

Just when Xiao Qin thought she would tactfully leave, she continued, "I wonder what level of purification master Miss Lin is? We can exchange ideas."

Xiao Qin subconsciously believed that Lin Shushu was of a lower level than her, because there was no such person as Lin Shushu among the well-known young purifiers.

Ning Shiyu, who was next to her, immediately boasted, "Our Sister Qinqin is a Level 6 Purifier, the youngest Level 6 Purifier in the Empire. If you don't understand anything, you can ask Sister Qinqin, and she will definitely teach you."

Although Ning Shiyu had given up on the idea of ​​getting close to Mo Ze, that didn't stop her from causing trouble for Lin Shushu. Of course, that was just her opinion.

She expected to see shame on Lin Shushu's face, but to no avail; Lin Shushu remained indifferent. She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What's with the pretense of high-mindedness? She's probably too low-ranking to speak up."

"Shiyu, don't say that. Regardless of rank, there's something to learn from each other. Maybe I'll even need Miss Lin to teach me!" Although she said that, she clearly thought Lin Shushu was of a lower rank than her.

Hearing the two men's intentional or unintentional teasing, Lin Shushu rolled her eyes inwardly, but said politely on the surface, "Our learning methods are different. It won't work whether you teach me or I teach you. Thank you for your kindness."

Then he stopped talking.

In fact, she wasn't lying. She didn't understand the advancement of a Purifier's level, and her spiritual power wasn't something an ordinary person could learn. Of course, Mo Ze was an exception; he wasn't an ordinary person.

After hearing her refusal, Ning Shiyu was about to say something more, but Xiao Qin stopped her with a look. Anyway, after today, Lin Shushu would no longer exist, and she didn't care what level she was.

After listening to the whole thing, Mo Chen, Ji Feng, Tang Yucheng, and He Fan exchanged glances, their eyes simultaneously revealing disdain. A mere level six purifier was actually lecturing a level nine purifier; it was truly laughable.

In the past, they would have considered a Level 6 Purifier to be a very high level, something truly amazing. But with Lin Shushu's extraordinary abilities, they lost all their admiration for Xiao Qin, this Level 6 Purifier, and saw her as nothing special.

After walking for a while, seeing that the people who were secretly following them hadn't made a move, Lin Shushu decided to create an opportunity for them.

During the lunch break, Lin Shushu used the excuse of needing to take care of personal matters to refuse Mo Ze's company and left the resting place on her own.

Knowing her plans, Mo Ze didn't insist on following her. He understood her strength; those who were secretly following her wouldn't even have a chance to touch her.

Seeing Lin Shushu leave alone, Xiao Qin thought to herself, "The opportunity has finally arrived." Taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, she made a hand gesture. Then, she casually chatted and laughed with Ning Shiyu.

Lin Shushu deliberately walked a little further away, choosing a relatively secluded spot to wait for the person hiding in the shadows to follow her.

Sure enough, she had barely stood still when she sensed several more presences around her.

"Come out!" Her voice was cold; she wanted to see who was trying to get her.

She had wondered along the way if it was someone sent by Ning Ya, but she quickly dismissed the idea.

In Ning Ya's eyes, he's probably already a dead man. After all, someone who has nothing and knows nothing is unlikely to survive being thrown onto a dangerous, desolate planet.

Even if Ning Ya was certain she was still alive, she didn't know she had gotten here, so the only answer was...

Upon hearing her words, the people in the shadows exchanged shocked glances. Could the information be wrong? Was this not a helpless little girl?

No matter how shocked they were, they had no choice but to obey the young lady's orders.

Several people revealed themselves and surrounded Lin Shushu.

"Who sent you?"

No one answered, and Lin Shushu knew that she would not be able to get the answer from them.

Without further ado, Lin Shushu waved her hand, and a surge of spiritual energy swept towards the group like a storm. The group was shocked; what kind of power was this? Why had they never seen it before?

Before they could even finish their surprise, the gust of wind had already reached them. Before they could react, they were thrown to the ground, spitting out bright red blood.

The group was filled with shock; they no longer cared about today's mission.

Born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze, Lin Shushu ultimately couldn't overcome the hurdle in her heart; she didn't take their lives. After all, they were badly injured and wouldn't have an easy time in the future. Besides, if they couldn't kill her, they probably wouldn't have a good ending when they returned.

However, Lin Shushu did not want to reveal her abilities yet. Before leaving, she fed the group a mind-numbing pill, which would make them forget how they were injured and that they had never seen her before.

As for who's behind it all, let them guess. I can just sit back and watch the show.

On her way back, Lin Shushu ran into Mo Ze. Although Mo Ze believed in Lin Shushu's abilities, he couldn't help but worry, so he came looking for her.

Lin Shushu told Mo Ze what had just happened and shared her guesses.

Mo Ze was furious. Seeing that he looked like he was about to kill someone, Lin Shushu quickly calmed him down and told him not to show any emotion. She wanted to see his surprised and uneasy expression.

Mo Ze had no choice but to comply, but he kept the matter in mind, waiting for the right time to settle the score.
